So, if you've been a Christian all of your life, and you have a deep respect for God's Chosen People, how would you be able to process this information, which I truly want to believe is truth? It is a perpetual game of 'hot potato' between two 'truths' that seemingly cannot exist simultaneously. We need to talk about this.
The people of God are Israel, but they are not numbered by physical descent. As John the Baptist warned the Pharisees (Mathew 3:9):
and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
Also Paul's writings in Roman's and Hebrews.
Those of spiritual Israel are of the same order as Melchizedek, to whom Abram gave a tithe.
